It usually results in me crying out -- and I can hear myself -- but am still unable to wake up fully and I know this. I usually feel panicked when this is happening, and relieved when I am able to snap out of it.
I am not sure if this is what occurs when people wake up while under anesthesia, but it seems similar. You are awake, aware, but unable to move.
Your mind is aware of what's going on (I can see the room I am in and everything).
I have regular intervals of being awake nightly for several hours before I can fall back asleep. I'm not sure if this is contributing to the sleep paralysis or not.
Anyone?

Hi,
Sleep paralysis dreams are quite comon. Most people have them at sometime in their life. I had few after a divorce and change of job.
The subconscious creates the dream to wake you from a tired fitful sleep with the
idea that you can't move cant scream and can't call for help. Your dream was a mild form of sleep paralysis dream. Many sleepers experience frightening ghosts or other mysterious presences in the dream. Some people people even experience physically pulled outof bed, onlyto wake up sitting up in bed.
Most sleep paralysis dreams happen when sleeping on the back or belly.
